After  exchanging  with  other  Experiment  Stations  and  Agri- 
cultural Journals,  the  Reports  remaining  at  the  disposal  of  the 
Station  will  be  sent  to  citizens  of  Connecticut  who  shall  season- 
ably apply  for  them,  and  to  others  as  long  as  the  supply  lasts. 


Former  Reports  Wanted. 

There  is  frequent  call  for  our  earlier  Annual  Reports  on  the 
part  of  public  libraries,  students,  chemists,  naturalists,  and 
station  workers. 

Persons  who  can  supply  copies  of  Reports  of  this  Station  for 
any  of  the  years  above  named,  will  be  likely  to  find  purchasers 
by  communicating  with  the  Director. 


COMPOSITION    OF    COMMERCIAL    FEEDING-STUFFS. 


THE    COMPOSITION    OF    COMMERCIAL    FEEDING- 
STUFFS  SOLD  IN  CONNECTICUT.* 

During  the  autumn  of  1900,  agents  of  this  Station  collected 
in  twenty-five  towns  and  villages  of  the  State,  one  hundred 
and  eighty-six  samples  of  commercial  feeding-stuffs,  exclusive 
of  the  condimental  foods  referred  to  in  a  previous  bulletin. 

The  analyses  of  these  feeds  appear  in  Table  I  on  pages  14 
to  29.     This  table  shows : 

(1)  The  chemical  composition  of  each  of  the  samples,  as 
determined  by  the  methods  of  analysis  adopted  by  the  Asso- 
ciation of  Official  Agricultural  Chemists. 

(2)  The  average  composition  as  determined  by  these 
analyses. 

(3)  The  average  of  all  the  analyses  of  each  kind  of  feeding- 
stuff,  which  have  been  made  at  the  Experiment  Stations  of  the 
New  England  States,  and  published  within  the  past  year. 

(4)  The  digestible  nutrients  of  these  feeds.  These  are  cal- 
culated from  the  average  composition  of  the  samples  found  in 
this  State,  by  the  use  of  the  digestion  coefficients  given  in 
Bulletin  77  of  the  Office  of  Experiment  Stations. 

The  results  of  the  analyses  are  summarized  as  follows : 

Cotton  Seed  Meal. 

The  four  samples  analyzed  were  of  usual  quality;  the  per- 
centage of  protein  ranging  from  41.00  to  45.87,  and  of  fat  from 
8.38  to  8.81.  These  percentages  are  considerably  lower  than 
the  average  of  179  analyses  recently  made  in  other  New  Eng- 
land  states. 

Guarantees. 

Three  of  the  samples  were  guaranteed  to  contain  43  per  cent, 
of  protein  and  9  per  cent,  of  fat.  In  all  of  them  the  percentage 
of  fat  was  a  fraction  of  1  per  cent,  below  the  guarantee  and  in 
one  case  the  percentage  of  protein  was  also  below. 

*  The  microscopic  work  referred  to  in  this  paper  was  wholly  done  by 
Mr.  A.  L.  Winton.  The  analyses  were  made  by  Messrs.  Winton,  Ogden 
and  Langley.     The  discussion  of  the  results  is  by  the  Director.

Linseed  Meal. 

Of  the  six  samples  examined,  two  were  apparently  "new 
process"  and  four  were  "old  process"  meals. 

The  average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  in  the  two  kinds 
were  as  follows : 


Average 

per  cent,  of 

protein. 


Average 

per  cent,  of 

fat. 


New  Process  38.43 

Old  Process  31-33 


2-35 
6.72 


Sample  2402,  sold  as  old  process  meal,  is,  quite  evidently, 
new  process. 

Guarantees. 
Three  of  the  samples,  Nos.  1798,  2402,  and  2378,  bore  guar- 
antees and  contained  substantially  what  was  guaranteed. 

Red  Dog  Flour. 
This  is  the  poorest  grade  of  flour,  off  color,  and  often  sold  as 
a  cattle  food  and  for  making  paste.

The  differences  between  the  several  wheat  feeds  in  the  per- 
centages of  protein  and  fat  which  they  contain  are  shown  in  the 
following  statement,  compiled  from  all  available  analyses  of 
these  products  made  at  the  New  England  Agricultural  Stations 


during  the  last  twelve  months.

The  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  are  very  nearly  alike  in 
Winter  and  Spring  mixed  feed.  Winter  wheat  bran  shows  a 
higher  percentage  of  protein,  but  winter  wheat  middlings  a 
lower  percentage  of  protein  than  the  corresponding  spring 
wheat  products. 

All  the  wheat  products  analyzed  were  of  good  quality  and 
apparently  free  from  any  adulteration.  With  three  exceptions, 
none  of  them  had  any  guarantee  of  composition.  Three 
samples  of  mixed  feed,  made  by  the  American  Cereal  Co.,  were 
guaranteed  to  contain  18.21  per  cent,  of  protein  and  4.48  per 
cent,  of  fat.  The  amounts  of  protein  and  fat  found  by  analysis 
agreed  with  this  guarantee. 


6        connecticut  experiment  station,  bulletin  i33. 

Corn  Meal. 

Of  the  two  samples  examined,  one  was  low  grade,  containing 
only  8.81  per  cent,  of  protein,  nearly  three-fourths  of  I  per 
cent,  below  the  average. 

Gluten,   Gluten   Meal,  Gluten  Feed. 

These  are  all  by-products  of  the  manufacture  of  corn  starch 
and  glucose. 

The  process  of  manufacture  was  quite  fully  described  in  our 
last  report. 

Atlantic  Gluten,  made  by  the  Atlantic  Starch  Works,  West- 
port,  is  sold  under  a  guarantee  of  38  per  cent,  of  protein  and 
2  per  cent,  of  fat.  Only  one  of  the  six  samples  examined  con- 
tained the  percentage  of  protein  guaranteed,  and  only  one 
contained  2  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  per  cent,  of  protein  ranged 
from  25.25  to  39.75,  the  average  being  32.88. 

Last  year  this  feed  was  the  most  concentrated  of  any  on  the 
market. 

Cream  Gluten,  made  by  the  Chas.  Pope  Glucose  Co.,  Chicago, 
111.,  is  guaranteed  to  contain  34.12  per  cent,  of  protein  and 
3.20  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  average  protein  found  by  analysis 
is  35.10  per  cent,  and  the  average  fat  2.92  per  cent. 

Chicago  Gluten  Meal,  made  by  the  Glucose  Sugar  Refining 
Co.,  Chicago,  111.,  is  guaranteed  to  contain  36  per  cent,  of  pro- 
tein and  3.37  per  cent,  of  fat,  in  the  water-free  material.  All 
of  the  samples  examined  contained  more  than  these  percentages, 
the  average  of  all  being  38.70  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.23 
per  cent,  of  fat,  with  8.65  per  cent,  of  water.  This  is  equiva- 
lent to  42.3  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.5  per  cent,  of  fat  in  the 
water-free  material. 

Waukegan  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  U.  S.  Sugar  Refining 
Co.,  is  guaranteed  to  contain  27.38  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.39 
per  cent,  of  fat.  The  four  samples  analyzed  were  quite  uni- 
form in  composition,  containing  an  average  of  27.04  per  cent, 
of  protein  and  3.89  per  cent,  of  fat ;  being  in  substantial  agree- 
ment with  the  guarantee. 

Davenport  Gluten  Feed.  The  three  samples  analyzed  showed 
wide  differences  in  protein,  the  highest  percentage  being  34.94, 
as  high  as  gluten  meal,  the  lowest  being  25.87. 


GLUTEN,    GLUTEN    MEAL,    GLUTEN    FEED.  J 

The  manufacturer's  guarantee  of  25.50  was  made  good  in 
every  case,  but  no  one  of  the  samples  contained  4  per  cent. 
of  fat  as  guaranteed. 

Buffalo  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  Glucose  Sugar  Refining 
Co.,  Chicago,  is  guaranteed  to  contain  25.50  per  cent,  of  pro- 
tein and  4  per  cent,  of  fat. 

Protein,  in  the  three  samples  examined,  ranged  from  24.75 
to  27.06,  the  average  being  25.88,  and  the  fat  ranged  from  3.40 
to  4.17  and  averaged  3.67  per  cent. 

Glen  Cove  Gluten  Feed,  made  by  the  National  Starch  Manu- 
facturing Co.,  Glen  Cove,  L.  I.,  is  guaranteed  to  contain  28.4 
per  cent,  of  protein  and  4.3  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  average  of 
four  analyses  shows  28.76  per  cent,  of  protein  and  3.73  per  cent, 
of  fat. 

Germ  Oil  Meal. 

Of  the  four  samples  analyzed,  two  are  of  unknown  manu- 
facture. One,  made  by  the  Glucose  Sugar  Refining  Co.,  Chi- 
cago, 111.,  contains  22.50  per  cent,  of  protein  and  9.39  per  cent, 
of  fat.  In  the  dry  substance  this  is  equivalent  to  '24.7  and 
10.3  per  cent,  respectively.  The  guarantee  on  dry  substance  is 
25.5  and  10.5. 

The  sample  made  by  the  American  Cereal  Co.  contains  22.06 
per  cent,  of  protein  and  16.23  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  guaranteed 
percentages  are  23.0  and  19.5  respectively. 

Hominy  Chops. 

The  samples  examined  have  been  of  quite  uniform  quality, 
the  percentage  of  protein  ranging  from  10.69  to  12.69,  averag- 
ing 11.67,  and  that  of  fat  ranging  from  6.50  to  10.4  and  averag- 
ing 8.71. 

Only  three  of  the  samples  bore  guarantees,  as  follows :

Ground  Oats. 
Of  the  two  samples  of  the  same  brand,  "Magnolia  Ground 
Oats,"  given  in  the  table,  one  has  an  exceptionally  high  per- 
centage of  protein,  with  a  low  percentage  of  fiber;  the  other 
has  a  large  amount  of  fiber  (light  oats,  hulls),  and  in  conse- 
quence a  low  per  cent,  of  protein. 

Provender. 

This  name  formerly  applied  strictly  to  a  ground  mixture  of 
corn  and  oats  in  equal  weights.  The  product  of  local  mills  is 
still  made  in  the  same  way,  but  the  commercial  article  too  often 
contains  an  undue  proportion  of  light-weight  oats  or  of  oat 
hulls,  which  reduces  the  percentage  of  protein. 

Of  the  three  samples  analyzed,  two  are  from  local  mills  and 
one  presumably  ground  elsewhere.  The  former  contain  on  the 
average  10.85  Per  cent,  of  protein,  while  the  latter  contains  only 
9.50  per  cent. 

Corn  and  Oat  Feeds. 

Here  belong  a  number  of  feeds,  all  of  them  of  very  inferior 
feeding  value  to  farmers,  sold  at  a  relatively  high  price. 

Victor  Com  and  Oat  Feed  is  made  by  the  American  Cereal 
Co.  and  guaranteed  to  contain  8.23  per  cent,  of  protein  and 
3.0  per  cent,  of  fat.  Each  of  the  five  samples  examined  fully 
met  this  guarantee. 

Lenox  Feed,  sold  without  guarantee,  has  about  the  same 
average  composition  as  the  Victor. 

Oat  Feed  "Vim"  made  by  the  American  Cereal  Co.,  Chicago, 
is  guaranteed  to  contain  only  6.30  per  cent,  of  protein  and 
2.38  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  sample  analyzed  contains  more  of 
each  constituent  than  is  guaranteed,  but  cannot  be  economically 
used  by  the  dairyman. 

Friend  Concentrated  Dairy  Food,  sold  without  guarantee, 
contains  a  large  proportion  of  oat  hulls  and  is  the  lowest  grade 
feed  which  has  been  found  in  the  Connecticut  market  this  year. 
To  call  it  "Concentrated  Dairy  Food,"  is  the  grossest  kind  of 
misrepresentation. 

Corn,  Oats  and  Barley. 
A  mixture  with  this  name  is  made  by  the  American  Cereal 
Co.,  and  guaranteed  to  contain  10.78  per  cent,  of  protein  and 


FACTORY    MIXED    FEEDS.  9 

3.29  per  cent,  of  fat.     Each  of  the  three  analyses  made  were 
fully  up  to  this  guarantee. 

"Rye  Feed" 
is  a  material  which  shows  a  very  considerable  range  of  composi- 
tion, depending  on  the  process  of  manufacture.     The  sample 
whose  analysis  is  given  shows  a  much  higher  percentage  of 
protein,  16.12,  than  is  usually  found  in  this  feed. 

Buckwheat  Bran. 
Attention  is  called  to  this  article  because  of  its  very  high 
percentage  of  protein,   33.37   per  cent.     Only   a  very  limited 
amount  of  it  is  made,  but  some  who  have  used  it  consider  it 
unsurpassed  as  a  concentrated  feed  for  dairy  stock. 

Factory  Mixed  Feeds. 

H-0  Dairy  Feed,  made  by  the  H-O  Co.,  Buffalo,  N.  Y.,  is  a 
mixture  of  corn  and  oat  feeds  with  a  little  wheat  and  some 
cotton  seed  meal,  and  is  guaranteed  to  contain  18  per  cent,  of 
protein  and  4.5  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  three  samples  analyzed 
contained,  on  the  average,  1  per  cent,  more  of  protein  and  one- 
half  per  cent,  less  of  fat  than  was  guaranteed. 

H-0  Poultry  Feed,  made  by  the  same  firm,  is  essentially  a 
mixture  of  hulled  oats,  cracked  corn  and  wheat  bran  or 
middlings,  for  which  $29  and  $30  per  ton  are  charged.  The 
average  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  found  by  analysis  were 
16.70  and  5.31  respectively;  the  percentages  guaranteed  are 
17  and  5.50. 

H-0  Horse  Feed,  also  made  by  the  H-O  Co.,  is  essentially 
a  mixture  of  cracked  corn,  oats,  some  wheat  product  with  a 
little  linseed  meal,  and  costs  from  $21  to  $23.  It  is  guaranteed 
to  contain  12  per  cent,  of  protein  and  4.50  per  cent,  of  fat. 
Five  samples  contained  an  average  of  12.73  Per  cent-  of  protein 
and  4.04  per  cent,  of  fat. 

Quaker  Dairy  Feed,  made  by  the  American  Cereal  Co., 
Chicago,  111.,  is  a  mixture  of  ground  oats,  wheat  and  a  little 
corn,  sold  for  $18  to  $22  per  ton,  and  guaranteed  to  contain 
12.03  per  cent,  of  protein  and  2.50  per  cent,  of  fat.  The  per- 
centages found  by  analysis  were  considerably  higher,  13.77  an<^ 
3.38  respectively. 


IO        CONNECTICUT   EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    133. 

American  Poultry  Food,  made  by  the  American  Cereal  Co., 
is  essentially  a  mixture  of  corn  and  wheat  products,  guaranteed 
to  contain  13.96  per  cent,  of  protein  and  5.49  per  cent,  of  fat. 
The  average  of  two  analyses  gave  13.12  per  cent,  of  protein  and 
6.95  per  cent,  of  fat. 

Blatchford's  Calf  Meal,  made  by  John  W.  Barwell,  Wauke- 
gan,  111.,  is  essentially  a  mixture  of  ground  carob  beans,  linseed, 
a  wheat  product,  cotton  seed,  and  fenugreek,  containing  about 
the  same  percentages  of  protein,  fat  and  nitrogen-free  extract 
as  the  gluten  feeds. 

THE    COMPOSITION    OF    COMMERCIAL    FEEDING- 
STUFFS   COMPARED  WITH  THEIR  PRICES. 

In  the  last  Report  of  this  Station,  it  was  shown  that 
feeding-stuffs  are  bought  to  supply  a  deficiency  of  protein  in 
those  which  are  usually  raised  on  the  farm. 

Hay,  corn  fodder,  ensilage  and  stover  form  the  basis  and 
make  up  the  bulk  of  the  cattle  food  and  should  supply  all 
the  coarse  feed,  as  well  as  the  starch,  sugar  and  fat  which  are 
needed. 

They  are,  however,  deficient  in  protein.  The  feeder's  aim 
then  is,  or  should  be,  to  buy  digestible  protein  at  as  low  a  price 
as  he  can,  in  forms  relished  by  his  stock.  He  is  not  in  the 
market  to  buy  mixtures  of  cattle  medicine  and  food,  nor  starchy 
foods,  nor  woody  fiber,  nor  the  many  wastes  of  factories,  where 
so-called  "breakfast  goods"  for  human  use  are  made. 

It  will  very  rarely  pay  him  to'  buy  anything  which  contains 
as  little  protein  as  corn  meal.  Corn  meal  he  can  raise  cheaper 
than  he  can  buy  it — and  corn  meal  fed  with  hay  or  ensilage 
needs  the  addition  of  some  feed  richer  in  protein,  in  order  to 
avoid  waste  of  starchy  matter  in  feeding. 

Table  II  is  a  list  of  the  principal  commercial  feeding-stuffs 
with  the  percentages  of  protein  and  fat  in  them,  and  their 
average  prices  arranged  according  to  the  per  cent,  of  protein, 
the  ingredient  which  the  buyer  is  chiefly  concerned  with. 

Study  of  the  table  shows  that  we  have  five  or  six  distinct 
groups  of  feeding  stuffs : 

1.  Cotton  Seed  Meal,  containing  over  40  per  cent,  of  protein, 
and  costing  $27.60  per  ton.

12        CONNECTICUT    EXPERIMENT    STATION,    BULLETIN    I33. 

It  will  also  be  noted  that  the  percentages  of  fat  in  these  feeds 
are  not  very  unlike,  ranging  between  2.4  and  5.5  per  cent., 
with  exception  of  cotton  seed  meal,  old  process  linseed  meal 
and  hominy  chops,  so  that  a  rough  comparison  of  the  feeds 
can  be  made,  taking  account  of  protein  alone,  as  that  is  the* 
ingredient  which  the  feeder  is  chiefly  concerned  in  getting. 

Such  a  comparison  would  show  the  following: 

If  twenty  pounds  of  protein  in  Cotton  Seed  Meal  cost $0.64 

Then        "                                       Gluten  Meals  cost  about 0.85 

Gluten  Feeds  cost  about 0.88 

Wheat  Feeds  cost  about  1.20 

Oats,  Corn,  Provender,  Corn  Chop, 

etc.,  cost 1.77 

Oat  Feeds  and  other  trash  cost.. .  2.10 

The  above  is  not  intended  to  do  more  than  make  a  rough  but 
practically  just  statement  of  the  comparative  cost  of  protein 
in  the  several  classes  of  feeding-stuffs.  Of  course  all  feeds 
contain  other  valuable  food  ingredients  besides  protein  and  fat, 
but  they  are  not  ingredients  which  the  feeder  needs  to  buy. 

As  a  general  rule,  he  cannot  afford  to  buy  anything  belong- 
ing in  classes  5  and  6.  Home-grown  corn  meal  makes  any- 
thing in  these  two  groups  superfluous. 

It  is  the  part  of  economy  to  raise  all  the  corn  meal  which  is 
needed  at  home,  not  to  buy  anything  to  balance  the  cattle  ration 
containing  less  protein  than  wheat  feeds,  and  to  let  all  condi- 
mental  and  medicinal  cattle  foods  alone. 

"Cheap"  and  low  grade  oat  feeds  do  not  contain  what  the 
feeder  needs  to  buy  for  his  stock,  and  they  are  therefore  worth- 
less to  him. 


THE  WEIGHT  OF  ONE  QUART  OF  VARIOUS  FEED- 
ING-STUFFS. 

The  following  table  gives  the  weight  of  one  quart  of  the  feeds 
named,  and  is  useful  to  calculate  the  weight  of  grain  ration 
fed,  from  the  measure  which  is  almost  universally  used  on 
farms. 

This  table  was  prepared  by  Mr.  H.  G.  Manchester  of  West 
Winsted.
